And Scrowe, I think you read the study a bit wrong. 
Point still stands, but I think the numbers show the opposing teams FG% when Dwight(or whoever the player) on shots when Dwight is within 5 feet of the basket.
So if any player on the court takes a shot when Dwight is near the rim. Not when Dwight is near the player. It shows how team defense is when Dwight is protecting the rim.

Don't think that's how it works, this is from the study:
quote:
B) Proximal FG%: the relative efficiencies of shooters in the proximity of the defender. Overall, when there is a qualifying interior defender within 5 feet of a shot attempt, the NBA shoots 45.6% from the field; however this value varies considerably depending on which defender that is.The most effective proximate defender in our study was Larry Sanders; opponents shot only 34.9% when he was within 5 feet of their shot.
